Phone Sync Software

Other than the PC Suite what other software do people use to transfer files and sync phones?
I'd prefer free software which is compatible with other make phones also....

Again, not having a Windows Mobile Treo, have you checked the software download section on the VZW customer support area? I found this article which might be helpful. If you are talking about the VZW Sync software that sync your data and email with your VZW account, to restore that, you may need to hard reset your device. As a Sprint user, I don't know for sure.

Companionlink Google for Calendar - OR - ANY Wireless Sync Software

I've been hacking at a way to wirelessly sync my BBerry Bold 9650 with Outlook 2007 and Google. Since the BBerry solution offers a good email sync, there is no problem there. Once you install Companionlink Google for BBerry it is clear that unless you want contacts to multiply you cannot have 2 programs doing the syncing. So, I erased the phone, backed up my contacts and calendar from Outlook 2007 - then erased them in Outlook, and erased them my Gmail contacts and calendar. Then I did a clean install of my Blackberry email setup for gmail - and "did not" check to have the contacts sync through BBerry's solution. All worked so far. Then I installed Companionlink on the PC (Vista), and configured that it would sync contacts and calendar. Lastly I had companionlink send a link to my BBerry with the mobile app - which I configured to sync contacts tasks and calendar. Then I wasn't getting my email. So I deleted my gmail account from the phone and re-registered it for email only. This worked. Everything was syncing like a charm. Next thing I know (about 3 hours later) Companionlink crashed!! Has anyone had this happen? After trying many apps to fully sync outlooks functionality I'm depressed! Who wants to plug the phone in every night? Can any one help with a solid and trouble free solution or app that works??

Some phones that can't sync natively with OS X might be able to with software such as "The Missing Sync": http://www.markspace.com/ .

Because me and my parents have the same apple id, my new phone synced all of their songs on to my iPhone. I tried to delete them or transfer them off my phone to iTunes but it wouldn't work. What do I do?

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

I just got tOhe iPhone 4Gs today and had contacts and photos uploaded from another phone synced new phone with iTunes for music and accidentally restored it so all my old iPhone stuff is on the new one is there any way to fix this

I backed up everything to icloud, wiped my phone, synced to that backup, and only some of my photos are there. How do I get those photos back?

I went to apple store and they walked me through this except for the syncing part. I went to sync everything at home and a lot of my photos aren't there. When I scroll all the way down, its just a loading spiral thing.
Also, now I have new stuff, that I don't want to get deleted.
Is there some way to put my icloud pictures on my computer as well?

If the restore process is done, or seems to have stalled, and it didnt' restore your camera roll photos, all you can do is try restoring the backup again. If it's still restoring, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Stop Restoring at the bottom. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts.
Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup. You might want to move it closer to your wifi router for the strongest signal possible.

I synced my Iphone 3G to my desktop Windows computer - now I own a Macpro and want to use that as my phones synced comp. How do I switch?

I synced my Iphone3G to my desktop windows computer. I now own a MacPro and want to swap my phone sync to this laptop instead. Any ideas how?

Try this way:
set up your iTunes account, disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new Mac and right click on it in the device list and choose backup.iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Tethering a G4 with a Verizon phone or software

I have an old but faithful G4 powerbook with OSX 10.4 and I'm paying Verizon a bundle every month for my phone plus for a wireless access device. Actually the rep who sold me my Motorola Q told me it would tether as a modem to my G4, but the software wasn't made available.
Someone led me to another company that does this, but they just emailed me and said they only work with newer Macbooks.
I have to have Verizon cell service because I'm in a very remote desert location and all the other servers don't do as well out here (otherwise I would have gotten an iPhone). BTW, my access card works great out here. I need it because there is no cable or DSL service in our community. (We're lucky to have water and electricity.)
By any chance does someone know of a Verizon phone or software that will let me tether for Internet service?

Say you were to jailbreak your phone. Not recommended by Apple, but definitely not illegal to do as well.
An app called MyWi4.0 sets up the phone to be a wifi hotspot or even a tethered modem. It costs around $20, a one time fee..
Don't do this if you aren't on unlimited data, or suffer more consequence than just a voided warranty (jailbreaking).

Sync software?

Hello all can anyone recommend some form of sync software for mac. I have dropbox but I am not so fussed about online syncing just the ability to sync folders from two macs onto an external drive.
I have tried cronosync and sync standard and the pair work fine but require the application to be open in the dock, so yucky, I was rather hopeing for something that runs in the background with a menu item or system pref pane or something?
Many thanks.

Are you always syncing from the Mac to the Network? If so, then its a simple process for rsync and launchd.
First, set up a folder on your Mac (I'll use TestFolder1 on my Desktop for the Mac and TestFolder2 as the Network Folder)
Then set up a launchd by placing this in ~/Library/LaunchAgents and edit for your folders
Now log out and log back in (or restart)
(This syncs every 15 minutes (900/16=15), but you can change to any time you want)
NOTE THAT --delete will delete extraneous files from dest dirs (TestFolder2 is a Mirror of TestFolder1) .
Just delete this line if its not what you want.

I cant load the Media Sync software for Ituens

I run windows XP. Bberry Desktop software 4.7 downloaded and installed. When I go to Media Sync for Itunes it tells me the software is not loaded and then starts to download it.
I then get a mesage simply that "windows has encountered and error and install will be stoped". no other messge or error info.
I tried downloading the Media Sync software separatly from the web site and installing it but it will not install either. When i try to install the media sync this way i get message that "windows needs to reboot before continuing with the install". I reboot but still cannot load the sync. I have even tried to remove all "non-essential" software from loading automjatically at start up after reboot but still no luck.
all other BBerry desktop software seems to be working fine.
Please help. Thanks.

I have the same result when trying to load the Media Sync for iTunes. Looking forward to getting an answer soon.
